EXCHANGE NOTES.

ter of Mr., Bast, the gentleman who was
so seriously manned by being ruL over by
the cars, short time ago, ran a needle
into her breast last Tuesday. The little
one had the needle in her dress, and fall
ing on the floor ran it into her breast
Medical assistance was hastily summoned,
bat the little steel could not be extracted.
In three hours 1t bad changed its location
some three inches There is no certainty
of the result, but the needle will no doubt
work its way through the skin. Mr..
Basis family has indeed been one of sore
affection.
Shepherdstogn Register : Mr.. Charles
Underdonk, formerly Of this place, brake
man on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad,
was caught between two freight cars he
was coupling at Luray a few days ago and
pretty severely squeezed. He was taken
to his home in Sharp sburg. HIS injuries
are not regarded as serious..--..At the
Frederick Junction Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad last Friday Cbas. Bassford,
aged q years, employed as a brakemen on
a freight train, in attempting to couple
cars while in motion, slipped on the ice,
fell under the wheels, and was almost
Instantly killed. Young Bassiord was
resident Of Hagerstown. where he had
left his wife and one child that morning
to 90 out on his first trip as brakeman
after having eagerly waited for some time
for orders to 90 to work. The same night
he was sent back to his home corpse.
WarreR Messenger: Turner A. Ritten-
our. the accused murderer of Andrew
Broy, is still in Jail at Winchester Evil
dence of his guilt seems TO be accumulat-
ing. A young girl, who was milking very
near the woods in which Broy was found,
saw Rittenour and Broy pass into the
woods. In few minutes after they en-
tered the woods she heard the report OF
two pistol shots and the screams of one
who seemed 70 he in trouble, and in a few
minutes Rittenour came back from that
direction. She went TO Mr.. Canter and
asked whether she should tell this or
not. He advised her TO do so and took
her TO Winchester where she stated the
ahoye fact. Rittenour's brother was also
arrested but no suspicion lay on him and
he was released. He was arraigned and
plead not guilty. Wis trial will take place
February term of court The common
wealths attorney, Of Frederick county, IS
searching for the body OF missing boy
by the name of Fry, who it is supposed
was murdered by Rittenour The boy
was last seen with him. 1t is also report
cd that Rttenour poisoned old man Orn-
don and his remains are to be disinterred
and his stomach analysed. ID seems that
the fates are against this poor unfortunate
and that death seems inevitable.

resulting in the fracture Of the small

Mr. O'Neal stepped on some ice that was
concealed by the light snow that had just
fallen, his feet slipped from under him
and he fell with the result as stated. DIR.
Hudson rendered the necessary attention
aud patient is doing rs well rs could be
expected The North bound train on
the S. V. r. r.. which left here at { o'clock
last Saturday night, was derailed near
| st. James, the station this side of lIagers-
town, caused by the spreading of the
rails. The coaches we're upset, but forum
stely no one was injured. Mr.. Adam
Seekford Of this county, who was on his
way TO Chambersburg, was Oh the train at
the time. With his usual presence of
mind he grasped the seat he was occupy
ing and holding firmly to it, did not re-
ceive scratch or bruise. He says it was
a pretty lively shaking up while it lasted,
but like the old woman's dance, 1t was
soon over. The damage was soon repaired
and trains passing on time ....-.On Mon
day night last the Office Of J. V. Jamson
ESQ, grain and coal dealer in this place,
was entered and his iron safe blown open
1t is not certainly known how they effect
ed an entrance to the building. A hole
was drilled in the upper left hand corner
of the door, through which powder was
inserted and exploded by the use Of fuse.
The inside Of the door was blown entirely
FROM the outside, broken slightly in sew
eral places ahd the lock injured. There
was small quantity of silver, probably
as much az two dollars aud lot Of PEN
MES in the safe The silver was taken
and the pennies left, the parties not car
ing to deal in small change. The books
and papers we're all intact and If dis
turbed AZ all, were placed backed in the
safe as they were found. A sledge hammer
taken from the blacksmith shop of Yancey
Coleman, near by, was found on the side
of the road some 30 OF 80 yards from the
Office. 1t is supposed it was used by the
burglars. This Is the first lesson we have
had in professional burglary and it should
be warning to our people to be careful
aud on the watch.
